Adaptive spinning for locking primitives, in read-mode, have some tuning
SYSCTLs which are inappropriate for a daily use of the machine (mostly
useful only by a developer which wants to run benchmarks on it).
Remove them before the release as long as we do not want to ship with
them in.

Now that the SYSCTLs are gone, instead than use static storage for some
constants, use real numeric constants in order to avoid eventual compiler
dumbiness and the risk to share a storage (and then a cache-line) among
CPUs when doing adaptive spinning together.

Pleasse note that the sys/linker_set.h inclusion in lockmgr and sx lock
support could have been gone, but re@ preferred them to be in order to
minimize the risk of problems on future merging.

Please note that this patch is not a MFC, but an 'edge case' as commit
directly to stable/8, which creates a diverging from HEAD.
